The economy is starting to see hints of turnaround. Probably not enough to celebrate just yet, but still….there are some strong signals. And when that happens, the human resource department (recruiting in particular) is the first department that will need to react.
As we know all to well, HR stands tall during the RIFs (Reduction in Force), only to get laid off as well. Then the skeleton HR department must operate at full capacity with half the staff while the economy rebounds. When the company decides it is time to hire more staff again, the skeleton crew must be ready to respond. The importance of having a strategy in place, and ready to execute, is crucial. Take the time to do it now.
Dr. John Sullivan, a forward thinker, wrote an article I would recommend everyone reading: Do You Have a Recruiting Turnaround Plan That Will Allow You to Explode Out of the Box? This article not only provides a case study as to why, it provides a game plan as to ‘how.’ Again, this is a must read.
